Leaders operating in institutions of higher education, such as universities and colleges, implement and follow the strategic directions of their educational administration, and guide their administration’s decision-making, laws, and regulations in order to achieve important organizational goals. Coaching creates “change” in any organization, which is very important, and also support the overall internal communication in the workplace in order to “decode” the right messages in the right way by the employees. This article presents the key role of leadership as an important tool for achieving the overall strategic and managerial decisions of the educational administration in an organization in the Republic of Cyprus.
